'drowning men catch at straws.' Their ' facts'* as stated by tlrent ar^_ wrong, for their own letten^to the department have condemned them, They explain that the-depaj (ment forestalled tiient in appoinj fng a. teacher. This they know ij :false» for they well knew months iefore the department that a v pincy would occur very soon. \\\ |y did they not then apply for ; ;; male teacher ? Then again, th ;y say there was no objection to a leniale on the ground that accomnu elation could not be tound for one.i This also is untrue, for I am in Su-sses- sion of a letter to the effect tjat the committee reported to the! office tint no accommodation was avail able for a female teacher, and I read one to the same effect which the present teacher has in Ii sr pos s...
